The citizen journalism project «Readers‘ Edition» by the German «Netzeitung» went live on Tuesday: The first articles by ordinary people can be read at Readers-edition.de. The site publishes not only journalists but anyone who «knows more than the others.» The sections available include Politics, Business, Local News, Sports, Web & Technology, and Miscellaneous. The pages are managed by «moderators,» who also provide images to accompany the texts—or, conversely, write texts to accompany submitted images. Readers are encouraged to rate the articles on an ongoing basis. The article with the highest rating will then appear on the homepage.
